The Texas republican voters need to revolt and clean house in the primaries and run the Democrats out of the Republican Party.

Well, the Speaker is a Democrat, so why is anyone surprised?

Yet another example of the type of spineless cowards who are in power in the "GOP" in the State of Texas. This is absolutely ridiculous

If the GOP does not censure Burrows at an absolute minimum, then the GOP is just as much to blame as the RINO's are.

I would say this is a huge fu to conservative voters of this state. The 2026 election needs to be a referendum on these RINOs and their blatant disregard for Party rules and procedures.

I hope they keep it up and that conservatives are good and ticked going into the next election.

Burrows is out for own interest and pocket book. He is party agnostic. He has a lot of folks at the trough in his district.

And he has a lot of people that he pays out to as well. Go look at almost every rep that voted for him. Tell me what you see. Bonnens, Phelan, Burrows. All donating to them.

99% of Texans cannot tell you who their State Rep is.

It's both the blessing and the curse of the state leg only meeting every other year. On the one hand they generally can't screw things up too bad. On the other hand the people are equally unaware.

Wait. Didn't they tell us the dems would no longer be chairs. They would just be co-chars (with equal power as the chairmen)?

Are you saying Burrows and Phelan lied to us yet again?

You can never go wrong underestimating the balls in the Republican party.

This isn't a lack of balls. It's huge balls. They have blatantly lied to their constituents. This was what they intended to do all along. They do not care what Texans want.

Yep. And get the whole way of doing business there changed- -its not made sense since the Democrats went from Liberal to Progressive Left. Its stupid to give them much power because they will use every iota of it --- something only now happening with the national GOP at last.

We're a month into the legislative session and here's the only stuff the Burrows regime has done so far.
1) pass a resolution praising Beyonce
2) empower 6 Democrats with committee chairmanships (in violation of GOP rules)
3) give the Democrats co-equal power in the rest of the committees as vice-chairs
4) vote themselves extra-long weekends

Anyone wanna chime in with a mea culpa yet? Anyone...?

Remember, if you are against Burrows and the Democrats, then you are a Russian bot.

Has Abbott even commented or condemned these developments? - he is technically the leader of the Republican Party

Emailed my State Rep and Senator. Doubt it will do any good....

Told Senator Betancourt (one of the good guys and an Aggie to boot) that the Texas R party needs to get vocal and censure, boot them from the party, or run ads, fund challengers.

Ridiculous that a Red state like Texas gets held hostage by the dems and a few RINOs.

Yeah, like Brad Buckley from Texas A&M? The guy who violated his oath to vote for the speaker with the most votes from the republican caucus? The guy who voted to share committees with democrats? The guy who just voted for a democrat as Speaker pro-tem? He needs to be tossed on his ear for defying the will of his voters.

Does that count as an Aggie lying?
